A heart rate of 50 can be negative. Any pulse rate below 60 is considered bradycardia. With this said, some people do have a normal resting heart rate of 50. This can depend on your physical fitness, medicaitons (such as betablockers), etc. You should take into consideration your fitness level and medications. You should also take into consideration any other signs or symptoms you may be exhibiting. Bradycardia can cause altered mental status, lethargy, decreased blood pressure, weakness, etc. If you are experiencing any of these, you should contact you doctor immediately or go to your local emergency department.
